Answer:

[tex]\frac{3,25}{5}=0,65 \\[/tex] for brand x for 1 fluid ounces

[tex]\frac{6}{8}=0,75[/tex] for brand y

0,75-0,65=0,1

Brand x costs $0,1 less

Answer:

0.10 less

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find how much for one fluid ounce, so for Brand X you would divide 3.25 by 5 to get 0.65 and for Brand Y 6.00 divided by 8 to get 0.75. Now you know how much for 1 ounce of each brand so next you just have to subtract 0.65 (Brand X) from 0.75 (Brand Y) to get that Brand X costs $0.10 less than brand Y.

Hope this helps :)
